My lady moved in around the corner and have been to Aroma several times in only a couple weeks now. We. Absolutely. Love. It.Seems like they're in need of staffing so maybe they're new but it doesn't matter.. the experience is exquisite. The food is top tier.. so many options for meat eaters (me) and vegetarians (my lady). Full flavor, options for spice level (phew!). Fun drinks.The atmosphere and decor is stunning. Room for parties/large groups, solo dining at the bar, couples.We are hands down in love with Aroma.Vegetarian options: PANEER ALL DAY, eggplant, mushroom

You have earned a customer for life! The butter chicken with goat cheese is mouth watering - I’m drooling just thinking about it. Definitely get the mild if you’re not a fan of spice. I thought the medium was perfect, but I enjoy a nice kick. Loves the fried paneer. Tikka Masala was also great.They gave us several experimental dishes to try ahead of their opening in Carmel. Paneer Pesto, Malai broccoli and an unnamed chicken dish that was juicy and citrusy were phenomenal creations! I can’t wait for the Carmel opening.I’ve been to restaurants around the world and this was a wonderful experience. I’m glad my friends brought me here!

Pro: The food is amazing and so delicious!!Con: Menu has errors apparently.I had ordered the mixed veg jalfrezi because I wanted paneer and the description stated it had paneer and mixed veggies. Well the dish was missing the paneer and we called the waiter/cook and asked where the paneer was and he said it didn’t come with paneer that was a menu mistake. He didn’t even try to make up for the error, or offered something else which was disappointing. We suggested the menu should be fixed as people are ordering according to the description and we didn’t even get a heads up, he said that the menu is FULL OF MISTAKES, so although the food is delicious , ASK ABOUT WHATS IN THE FOOD BEFORE YOU ORDER.

This is the food I've been waiting for! Classic Indian dishes with a French culinary twist! All of my favorites with added flavor and flare! The lamb briyoni is my favorite! Succulent tender lamb with rice and So much Flavor! If you are new to Indian, try the butter chicken. You can even get it Mild, but I highly recommend adding some spice. Even their mango Lasse is topped with decadence! I will continue to come here and bring my friends. You should too!Parking: The parking lot is small, but you can also park across the street in the empty lot.

I think maybe we just came in on a busy night for takeout orders or something. The service was incredibly slow. we waited a long time to order and an even longer time to get food. we tried the mango and strawberry lassi and they were just okay. the drinks were incredibly sweet. in terms of alcohol drinks, they were out of the ingredients for the majority of the drinks. the garlic naan was great but save your money and don't get the gluten free bread. i would give it a 2/10 just because it's homemade but it tasted like straight flour. it was a really doughy texture. in terms of gluten free however, everything is labeled gluten free and i did not get sick. all the food also came out at once so we had our appetizers with dinner. for the appetizer, we got the chicken lahsuni kebab which was probably the best thing I had. the chicken was juicy and flavorful. i got the classic chicken tikka masala which was just okay. i'm a basic white girl so ive had a lot of tikka masala, not saying that i'm an indian food expert as well as we all have different perspectives on how food tastes but it wasn't my favorite compared to other ones i've had. i just didn't find it overly flavorful. we also got the yellow lentils (muradabadi daal) and I love daal but i also didn't find this one overly flavorful. we got both the regular alo gobhi and the saffron. definitely get the saffron, you do not need both. the regular one was just ok but the saffron one was amazing. overall, i didn't think it was the best but it was average. the service really took a toll on the dining experience though.

ICYMI: Indian Food hit Broadripple!Just hit Aroma recently to enjoy amazing approachable Indian food! It's time to branch out and get to Aroma in Broadripple or Fountain Sqaure! Everything we had was incredible! If you're new to Indian food, ask your waiter to bring out their best dishes! It's worked out for us twice!

Amazing Indian Restaurant along the college st. Our server Tabasum was great and provided amazing service. Mango lassi to buttered naan, and Chicken Korma were really good. I asked for very mild and it still had good flavor and nothing seemed to be bland like it usually does at other places. Will be back soon!

This is the second location of Aroma Indian I have tried, and the food is just as good as it was at the Fountain Square location.I ordered the Goan Shrimp Curry (medium spice) and garlic naan, my dinner partner got the eggplant dish (Baingan Bharta) - they were both excellent. Service was fast, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.
